Philosophy

Dandelion Music is the music that grows up in the cracks in the pavement, spontaneous, joyful, and robust. Dandelion Music follows these principles:

Everyone is musical!
Music is communication - playing or singing together transcends language
There’s no age limit on music
Music happens in community and creates communities
Musicking together is fun

Music flows through all of us, whether we're trained musicians or simply music lovers. It is my aim to get people creating music together joyfully and without fear for happier and more fulfilled lives.

Here are the programmes Dandelion Music currently offers:
